Use the inverse operation
For powers, take the root
For multiplication by an exponent, divide by the exponent if solving for the power
For logarithms, apply the inverse logarithm
For equations, isolate the base first
For expressions, rewrite with a common base if possible
For negative exponents, move the term across the fraction bar
For fractional exponents, convert to radicals
For repeated multiplication, simplify to standard form
For exponential equations, take logs on both sides
